I'm trying to get hold of a source package, so installed yum-utils and enabled the fedora-source repository. I then went through the following procedure: [ian@prometheus ~]$ yumdownloader --source --dest . vorbis-tools Loading "installonlyn" plugin Cannot access repository dir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/updates [ian@prometheus ~]$ mkdir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/updates [ian@prometheus ~]$ yumdownloader --source --dest . vorbis-tools Loading "installonlyn" plugin Cannot access repository dir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/updates/packages [ian@prometheus ~]$ mkdir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/updates/packages [ian@prometheus ~]$ yumdownloader --source --dest . vorbis-tools Loading "installonlyn" plugin Cannot access repository dir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/freshrpms [ian@prometheus ~]$ mkdir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/freshrpms/ [ian@prometheus ~]$ mkdir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/freshrpms/packages [ian@prometheus ~]$ yumdownloader --source --dest . vorbis-tools Loading "installonlyn" plugin Cannot access repository dir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/fedora-source [ian@prometheus ~]$ mkdir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/fedora-source [ian@prometheus ~]$ yumdownloader --source --dest . vorbis-tools Loading "installonlyn" plugin Cannot access repository dir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/fedora-source/packages [ian@prometheus ~]$ mkdir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/fedora-source/packages [ian@prometheus ~]$ yumdownloader --source --dest . vorbis-tools Loading "installonlyn" plugin Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: fedora If yumdownloader needs those directories, should it create them itself? If I run as root I don't get any errors, but neither does the package appear to download. Any suggestions? -- imalone
